Were you in the Marines, or a different branch of the military? Oswald completed ten weeks of basic training then was transferred to an infantry training regiment for another six weeks. This was an advanced boot camp that concentrated on the basic skills of combat and amphibious techniques and methods all marines must know. After that he showed a special interest in pistol training according to his pistol instructor Sergeant Arnie Vitarbo in Japan. And according to Vitarbo, Oswald was better than average. Tippit found that out the hard way.

As I say, discussing this with forum members who were not in the army is difficult.

As for example, training urban warfare you realise that using a rifle out of a window is a nightmare, a roof top is not ideal but is much better.

I received similar time in basic training in a European Nato country but was then assigned to a combat unit and this was my daily job.

Oswald, however, was assigned to a radar unit, plenty of things to learn and carry out on a daily basis.

I'm interested in the in the trigger of the CE 139 which apparently did not have a military configuration to prevent a startling effect, but I just don't know because I have not seen it explained anywhere ...

But since this is not a matter of faith to me, I see what I see with the information I've got regardless the directions it takes ...

Jag ser att du har ingenting annat än en attack på Oswalds chanser i detta inlägg. Berätta för oss hur det stöder din "objektiva" position.

If this is a game remember that Sweden is not a member of Nato, so you'll have to try again ...

Nevertheless, if this can stop this conversation here, I,ll admit to understanding Swedish but that I'm actually from Denmark.

I'm just trying to avoid that Duncan will let this thread going down the drain after that several posters have actual taken the effort to post some interesting stuff here.

I understand that you may have some fun doing this but please take other posters here into consideration, OK?  :)

You can bet I take other posters into consideration.

Fun doing what, exactly.. seeing you say that English was your 3rd language and then watch you get unfairly chastized, and in smarmy fashion I might add, about your grammar? Then guessing your native tongue to be either Swedish or Danish, with the educated guess that either one would be close enough to understand? Yeah that was fun.

English, Danish, Swedish... my query is legit in any language

     Duncan's contrarian impulse towards me has started coming out.  He took down my critique of the word debunk a term sufficiently ugly to challenge pragmaticism for the seat of least tempting word to kidnap.  Maybe you could explain to a dimmy what Oswald's lack of qualifications for a soldier of fortune mean to a bona fide?

Who are you directing your question to? Do we have a bona fide soldier of fortune here in this forum?
